What Causes Itching All Over Body And In Throat?

Thursday night after I ate dinner I was very itchy, did t know what it was. I rubbed alcohol all over my body and It help then I took Benadryl and fall asleep, but yesterday when I was work I felt like something was stuck on my throat like a hair or something so I decided to eat some almonds, about 15 min later I started feeling my right eye itchy and on thing of minutes my whole face got swalled. My boss call the ambulance was very itchy again I was having trouble breathing, they gave a shot of Benadryl and something else can t remember what it was, all I know that after theat shot I was able to breathe but heart was rushing. They said I was allergic to almonds, but I have always ate almonds and nothing ever happen, this morning I started to feel my arms tingling followed by a tingling sensation on my head. It has passed 4 hrs and still feeling the same sensation. My face is red and really hot, but don t have fever.. Currently I m taking Benadryl 50 mg, prednisone 20 mg, famotidine 20 mg
